David Traeger Three Centuries Shiraz
Luxury Shiraz, made by expert hands.
Veteran winemaker David Traeger began his life in the Australian wine industry in 1973. After working as a winemaker for both major and smaller wine companies, in 1986, he established his namesake wine business. After selling his eponymous “David Traeger” brand, he has re-established himself as a small independent winemaker. His aim is to produce limited volumes of elegant and distinctive wines, working with grapes from vineyards that attain the finest fruit character.
This wine is a blend of Shiraz from vineyard plantings that have their origin in three centuries, a component from a 19th Century planting, through to vineyards planted in the 20th and now 21st centuries. Each planting adds the varying influence of terroir, ripeness, power and finesse to the wine.
Deep crimson red colour. Aromas of plum and mulberry and toasty oak. Sweet peppery berry and light plum flavours flow through to a medium weight palate, with some vanilla bean and oak influences, finishing with some slight astringency and vinosity.
